Ginger left a lasting impression on me in The Last Thing. I was curious as to how she was going to escape the clutches of her ex. I also wondered about who would capture her attention and make her see her inside was as beautiful as her outside. That last statement is significant because I never thought I'd say that.

I started reading this book with so many expectations and yet what I read was much better and different than anything I expected. I was surprised by Caspian and Ginger's relationship. It was slow and beautiful, each of them trying to give to the other without losing bits and pieces of them self. I loved being able to see their texts and emails as they communicated with each other over time. I did get a little frustrated with them at times for their stubbornness in not moving things along and the reasons why they were doing so.

I think I was most surprised by Ginger's past and what she wanted. I never expected her to be so vulnerable to the statements and digs at her. I always thought she was tough and didn't care, but it turns out appearances are deceiving. It was good to see her with Quinn and Chase, and to see how they were doing as well. I do hope this series continues. I'm really impressed with how Briana Gaitan handled this book and I'd like to see how Ginger and Caspian are doing in the future.
